    I love my prisms! It’s like a miracle. I can drive, read, watch television. Life is good! My doctor gave me a script for prisms at my last visit. I go back in a week for an MRI to see if my eye disease is still active. Thanks for all your comments. I wouldn’t have known to ask for the prisms if it hadn’t been for you.

    Shirley,

    Just a couple more questions. If the surgery to correct your double vision was successful why do you use prisms? Have your eyes gotten worse over time? Are the prisms very noticeable? I sure hope this active period doesn’t last too long.

    Hi Shirley,
    Thanks for your response. I do go to a neuro opthamologist at OSU. He sees a great deal of graves patients. Was your muscle surgery an attempt to correct the double vision? Can you function normally with the prisms? Can you see up close and far away?

    Hi Debbie,

    Thanks so much for your comment. I went to my eye dr initially due to vision loss caused by my optic nerve being compressed. I responded to steroid treatment and my vision got better but as I was stepping down on my dosage I developed double vision.

    Do you wear glasses with prisms? I’m going to ask if this would help me at my next appointment. I can’t do much at this point. Thanks!
